Comments on the clue
1.For cricketing enthusiast only, I fear.
2.Like this but feel the prince component would be very difficult to solve
3.Everyone out there would be in flannels, what does that special mention convey?
4.nice
5.I like the first wordplay, but NELSON isn’t inside ‘flannels on’, so it’s a weak ‘hidden’ clue
6.Subtractive anagrams are not my cup of tea and this one has indirect fodder!
